Then the three discussed many things. Wang Hua proposed to write the imperial edict appointing Zheng Yu and the imperial edict appointing Lu Bu as general, and let Dong Zhuo take care of it. At the same time, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty also issued a secret edict for Zheng Yu to lead. The Ministry took over the palace guard.

Although Zheng Yu knew that this move was too hasty, he still accepted the secret order. He thought that it was not impossible. As long as he united with Lu Bu, the city of Chang'an would be his. However, Zheng Yu still proposed to let Han Emperor Xian issued an imperial edict to General Liu's son Liu Zheng, asking Liu Zheng to lead his troops back to the capital immediately and accompany Zheng Yu to pay homage to General Liu.

This reason is high-sounding. General Liu sacrificed his life for the country. His son deserves to be taken care of by the court. At this time, his father's generals came to worship his father. Liu Zheng is the only son. He should be by his side. Of course. Zheng Yu made this move. Firstly, he wanted to challenge Dong Zhuo's authority. Secondly, he didn't want anything to happen to Liu He on the front line. Thirdly, he was interested in Liu He's Yulin cavalry.

For Zheng Yu, if Liu Zheng's thousand-feather Lin cavalry were added to Chang'an, he wouldn't even worry about Lu Bu anymore. If necessary, he would let Wu Tao lead the five thousand sharpshooting battalion to cross the Yellow River westward and enter Chang'an. Then the strength would be Da Zeng simply captured Chang'an and started a battle with Dong Zhuo openly.

The key to this matter is to force Dong and Lu to split.

After figuring out these joints, Zheng Yu cheered up. He suggested that Emperor Xian immediately summon Wang Yun, Huang Wan, Shi Sunrui, Lu Bu and others to come to the court for discussion. He asked Liu He to go immediately to deliver the order. After a while, these ministers came to Weiyang Palace. During the discussion, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty shared his ideas with everyone, and everyone immediately agreed.

"Xiao Yun came all the way to pay homage to General Liu. Liu Zheng must be present to fulfill the filial piety of the general's son. This is etiquette." Wang Yun said seriously. He naturally knew that this was Zheng Yu's idea. He also knew that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty would bring great consequences to his actions. No matter what the outcome will be. But this is an opportunity to draw Zheng Yu to join the camp that opposes Dong Zhuo and even subverts Dong Zhuo's regime.

Although Lu Bu felt strange in his heart, he also wanted to understand that this must be Zheng Yu's suggestion. The key is that Zheng Yu stands on reason. He can't express his objections. In his heart, he is not sure whether Dong Zhuo approves. He has Dong Zhuo's desire for power. He was very familiar with Taotian's power. Scholars Sun Rui and Huang Wan even applauded it with both hands.

Everyone who participated in the court meeting respected General Liu with all their hearts. Therefore, the recall of Liu Zheng was unanimously approved. Emperor Xian was overjoyed and immediately asked his chamberlain to draft an imperial edict and sent it to Li Ru of the Taishi Mansion to have it stamped with a jade seal. Li Ru was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law and an important member of his staff. He was currently in the Grand Master's Mansion. After Dong Zhuo left for the expedition, he was responsible for the control and decision-making of everything in the Grand Master's Mansion.

After Dong Zhuo got the jade seal back from the palace, he asked Li Ru to take care of it. He also stated that important matters should be approved by him personally. Li Ru could check the general content. When Li Ru saw this imperial edict, he felt strange in his heart. After thinking about it for a while, he understood It must be Zheng Yu who was causing trouble. But it was reasonable. He couldn't raise any objections, so he had no choice but to stamp the imperial edict with a jade seal and send it back to the palace for processing.

Emperor Xian was very excited when he saw the imperial edict with the bright red seal. It was the first time he had written an imperial edict without authorization, and it was recognized by the Taishi Palace. Although this was Zheng Yu's suggestion, he still felt in his heart that this was his intention to Dong Zhuo. The first challenge to authority. And it was successful.

At this time, a smile appeared on his little face, and his excitement could not be suppressed.

Wang Yun, Huang Wan, and the scholar Sun Rui were also excited. Wang Yun sighed and said: "The imperial seal was lost in Luoyang. This jade seal was made by the Grand Master. It is said to be temporarily placed in the Grand Master's Mansion. Li Ru will take care of it. Keep it safe. All imperial edicts can only take effect after they are sent to the Taishi Mansion and stamped with a jade seal." He carefully explained to Zheng Yu the rules of the current court.

Speaking of these things, several other people also looked melancholy.

Emperor Xian couldn't care about these things. It was the first time for him, and there would be a second time in the future. Therefore, he immediately asked Wang Yun to send people to Luoyang to deliver the edict to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo saw this edict and felt in his heart. He scolded his mother endlessly, but he really couldn't raise any objections. He had no choice but to let Liu Zheng lead his troops back to Chang'an immediately. This is a story for later.

The court meeting dispersed. Zheng Yu, Wang Yun, Lu Bu, Huang Wan, Shi Sun Rui and others left the palace. After leaving the palace, everyone dispersed. Zheng Yu boarded Wang Yun's carriage and prepared to return to Wang Yun's mansion.

On the carriage, Wang Yun said solemnly: "General Liu has made great contributions to the country. His son must be cared for and protected by the imperial court. I guess Dong Zhuo can't say anything. Once Liu and a thousand feathers ride back to Chang'an, Xiao Yun can try to let him He is stationed in the city. If necessary, he can be added to the palace guard. It is good for His Majesty's safety."

Zheng Yu naturally knew the meaning of Wang Yun's words. But he knew that he could not rush at this time, otherwise something would happen. So he had to say: "This matter affects the whole body. Dong Zhuo's army is outside, and Lu Bu's attitude is unclear. And Dong Zhuo is in Chang'an City. There are still five thousand troops guarding the palace. If something goes wrong, everyone will be killed."

Zheng Yu's thoughts on military operations were much more mature than Wang Yun's. Therefore, he no longer dared to say a word. Not long after returning to the palace, Wang Yun received a report that the fast cavalry had been dispatched. Dong Zhuo would receive the imperial edict in three days. .It is estimated that you will receive a reply within seven to eight days.

Whether Liu Zheng can come back in time depends on Dong Zhuo's attitude during this period.

Wang Yun had something in mind, but the relationship between him and Zheng Yu was not deep enough. They talked to each other only to the point. When he returned to Wang Yun's mansion, Zheng Yu went directly into the backyard and hid in the study to think about something. Said: It's time to think clearly about the mission to Chang'an.

In history, after Wang Yun conspired with Huang Wan, Shi Sun Rui, Lu Bu and others to kill Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun became a secretary. Lu Bu was promoted to General Fenwei. The two co-presided over the government. After Wang Yun succeeded, he became proud and complacent. Added Shangqi was small and could not maintain the situation in Guanzhong. In less than a month, Dong Zhuo's general Li Jue and others defeated Lu Bu, occupied Chang'an, killed Wang Yun, and took control of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Although these are things that happened in history, the situation in Chang'an will definitely change due to the arrival of Zheng Yu. It is difficult to evaluate how it will develop in the future. However, Wang Yun's character has been completely exposed after he came to power. In addition, Lu Bu was brave and reckless. Zheng Yu felt that it was difficult for these people to achieve anything, so they could only use each other.

The situation in Chang'an is complicated. How to obtain the maximum benefit from this complicated and strange situation and how to take Emperor Xian of Han away. It is indeed time to test Zheng Yu's wisdom.

Diao Chan walked in and made tea for him personally. She sat next to Zheng Yu and faced him silently without speaking.

"There is something on your mind." Zheng Yu asked with concern.

Diao Chan nodded, then shook her head and said, "I wonder if Dong Zhuo will return to Beijing as soon as possible." The meaning of this was obvious. When Dong Zhuo returned to Beijing, it was also the time when her fate with Zheng Yu came to an end. Therefore, she felt uneasy in her heart.

At this point, Zheng Yu could only shake his head helplessly. Diao Chan's mission was destined. For Zheng Yu, the matter in Chang'an required the cooperation of Wang Yun and Lu Bu. Of course, he hoped that they could succeed in assassinating Dong Zhuo, and Diao Chan was determined. There's probably no way she can change her mind.

It just makes Zheng Yu feel aggrieved. Although Diao Chan always says that this is cuckolding Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu. But from another perspective, it means that Zheng Yu's woman was cheated by Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu. Therefore, she feels unhappy. But also Nothing can be done.

"The fighting on the frontline is tense. It is estimated that we will not be able to come back in the short term. Anyway, we have soldiers to cover up the water and the earth. If Dong Zhuo really returns to the capital, there will naturally be ways to deal with him." Zheng Yu said helplessly.

"Master Governor, Diao Chan wants to forget herself." She said that she had forgotten herself. She was crazy about doing husband and wife things with him. At that moment, she completely forgot herself.

The two of them had not left the room from afternoon to evening. They even had dinner in the bedroom.

The next day, Zheng Yu took the initiative to go to Lv Bu's mansion. Seeing Zheng Yu's visit, Lv Bu quickly welcomed him into the living room warmly and asked his servants to bring him tea. Sanbao Hall. There must be something going on when I come to Fengxian’s mansion today. Let’s talk. There is nothing we can’t say between you and me.”

Zheng Yu laughed "haha" while drinking tea. He thought to himself that Lu Bu still has this side. It's really funny. Then he told the story about Emperor Xian's intention to make him General Fenwei. "Fengxian, this is a great leader." "Three Dukes," Emperor Xian said, "Lü Fengxian guarded the capital, and his hard work was of great merit. Otherwise, there is no way to commend Fengxian for his great contribution to the Han Dynasty."

This is pure nonsense. Zheng Yu naturally knows who Lu Bu is. A compliment, coupled with the super pie of General Fenwei, is equivalent to reaching the sky in one step for Lu Bu. Therefore, his face is full of smiles. "Thank you, Your Majesty. Grace. I just don’t know if Master Dong agrees.”

"This is His Majesty's decree. He asked Xiao Yun to come and discuss with Feng Xian. Of course, the Grand Master still has to pass. But Emperor Xian is the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. His words are the imperial decree. The rest is for us to do. Your Majesty has come to consider it. Of course, Xiao Yun also has selfish motives. His Majesty said, I have conquered a large territory and made great contributions to the country. I should be commended. Alas, we are in the same boat now. Although Your Majesty has a will, how can we turn it into our contribution? . But we have to be serious. We fight as soldiers in order to bring glory to our family and get titles. But even the emperor agreed. We still can’t get these titles. Wouldn’t it shame us soldiers?”

Zheng Yu's words were very provocative and scratched Lu Bu's itch.

Lu Bu didn't think much about it. Instead, he said firmly: "Xiao Yun is right. The reason why we join the army and fight is to gain promotions and titles. Now it's the emperor who takes the initiative. If we still can't achieve our goal, wouldn't we feel wronged by this eight-foot-tall man? Chu. Haha. Xiaoyun is granted the title of Marquis, and Fengxian is granted the title of Marshal."

"There are two hurdles to pass in this matter. One is the court meeting. Xiao Yun will do the work on this matter; the other is Grand Master Dong. The difficulty will be greater. According to the court rules, General Fenwei ranks above the three princes. It is almost the same as before. The Grand Master is on an equal footing. Therefore, Fengxian must be mentally prepared. According to Xiaoyun, the possibility of the Grand Master agreeing is smaller. Perhaps the possibility of agreeing to accept Xiaoyun as Marquis of Jian'an is greater. After all, this is a false position for me. .innocuous.”

Lu Bu thought for a while and his face turned gloomy.

Seeing his uncertain expression, Zheng Yu felt secretly happy in his heart. He then said, "Since we work together to seek an official position, let's deal with this matter together. If the Grand Master does not agree to be promoted to General Fenwei, Xiao Yun will also give up the title of Marquis of Jian'an." title."

Zheng Yu's words were very sincere and moved Lu Bu. He said: "Thank you Xiaoyun. There is strength in numbers. The two of us work together. I think the grand master will agree. In short, it all depends on manpower."

Zheng Yu reminded: "We still have to be careful. If we are not sure, we will not mention it. Although promotion and promotion are important, the safety of our heads is more important. Otherwise, our heads will be lost, and everything else will be just a cloud."
